NxwYork, July IS. The reconstructed
Kew Torks appear to have some pretty well
defined ideas as
j v to the proper way
( of playing the
nrreXT0 national game of
baseball. It may
also be truth
fully said that
3, 0 0 0 persons
who saw Power's
men thrash tho
Pittsburgh this
afternoon, heart
ily approved the
system on which
the former are
now proceeding.
fym
At least the en
thusiastic manner in which they greeted the
greeted the efiorts of the lively young
Goth&mites seemed to indicate that the
spectators appreciated that sort of thing.
The New Torks put up another fast field
ing and base running game and in addition
they hit they ball till Beckley and his
colleagues were weary and srd.
U- E.nocked Oat tn Three Inning.
, That was a combination of play the Pitts
burgs could not withstand, snJ they were
beaten most thoroughly. Ehret pitched
three innings and ten runs were scored off
his delivery. Then the left-handed Smith
was called in from the field and he was
rather effective. The New Tork:, however,
got men across the plate in each of the six
first innings and came close to scoring in
the remaining three innings. "While the
visitors did some rather vellowish fielding,
still the fact that the New Yorks earned
eight of their 13 runs shows the character
ot their stick work. Itusie pitched five
innings and with the exception of third
v as effective. He pitched good ball in spite
of the fact that lie itas sick most of the
time he was in the box. In the fifth he
irave way to Crane who finished the game
i:i good style. The field support of both
Eusie and Crane was snperbBnrke, Ewing,
Fuller and Doyle carryi off the honors.
Burke's plav was a si, to behold, and
although Fuller is

The base rur
rf
feat . he wildest
,,...-. -ci"e'Nine stoH. -..es was their
record. Just as soon as one of the livelv
yottngstcrs got to first he hustled to second
and third and was ready to dash tor the
plate on the slightest prof ocation. That
sort of bnll playing is sure to revive the
waning interest The New Yorks won the
game in the first inning. Burke started off
with a base on balls and as a matter of
course stole second. Then H. Lyons hit to
Ehret who threw low to first. Burke
promptly came home, and as the ball got
vast Beckley, Lyons ran to third on the
error. He was standing there when Tiernan
hit the bail on the nose and sent it living
on a line into the Emporium. Donovan
ran to the porch of the Emporium but
could not see the halL Tiernan wa home
be'ore somebody threw the snhere out ot
the door. Ewing came next with a single
center. Doyle bit a bounder that Ehret
grabbed. The pitcher made another bad
throw to first and Ewing scored, Doyle
taking second. Then Richardson got a
scratch single on which Doyle came home.
O'Kourke hit cleanly to right lor a base,
Kichard'on going to third. A pascd ball
sent OMJourke on second and Itcsie out at
first let Richardson home.
Uierbaner Made a Fumble.
Fuller's grounder was fumbled by Bier
bauer and O'Hourke scored the seventh run,
which was all, as Burke on his second time
ot the bat hit a fly for Shugart and Lyons
went out at first. The fact that they had
seven runs on the black board did not seem
to check the ambition of the young nipn.
En ing hit a high one to left in the third.
Smith ran out, but the wind held the ball
back and it diopped before Smith could re
turn. Ewing got three bases and he scored
on Doyle's good sacrifice fly to right.
With one man out in the third, Fuller hit
one to left that got so tangled up in the
Eun's rays that Smith could not see it.
Shorty took two bases and H. Lyons" sin
gle sent linn home. Lyons stole second and
scored on E wing's bounder past short.
In the last half of the third the Pitts
burgs did a little batting and their spirits
revived in a measure. Ehret. Miller,
Donovan and Bierbaacr hit good clean
singles in succession and these aided by a
fumble and low throw by Fuller yielded
lour runs. In the fourth alumble of a hard
grounder by Doyle, a base on balls and a
single by Donovan permitted Terrv to cross
the plate. At that point the Pittsburgs re
tired from the run getting business. Elmer
Smith faced the Xeiv York batters in
fourth, singles by O'Rourke, Fuller and
Burke yielded a run. In the fifth, bases on
balls to Tiernan and Ewing, a fumble by
Farrell and Klcbardson's sacrifice gave one.
The last run was scored in the sixth on
Fuller's clean double to right and Burke's
single. There was some fear that the New
Yorks would not be able to clinch their
victory, but their steady play soon dis
pelled all doubts. The score:

Buck Erring to Go Behind the Bat Agsdn
This Week.
New York, July 16. ISptdal. Pitcher
Charles King is not now with the New York:
team, which he deserted at Pittsburg a week
ago. Manager Powers has vainly tried to
commniiicato with him. He was indiscreet
enough to join the Bassett-Gore clique.whicb
was responsible for the major part of the
bickering in the team during tho first half
of the season. When the heads of those
two disturbers were chopped off, King
seemed to feel that he was left in the lurch
and concluded to vamoose. Whenever there
was bad fielding behind him King always in
sisted that there wns a deliberate attempt to
put him in a bad light. That he tb ablo to
pitch first-class ball is pi o ven bv his work
against St. Louis and Pittsburg. He seemed
to delight in beating those teams.
Manager Powers and Captain E wine have
decided, that Buck Ewing shall go behind
the hat, and he will make his debut some
day this week. E wing's throwing arm has
crown stronger with time, and he has been
lining the ball across to third base with pre
cision. Tarentnm, IS nwicltley, 1.

Another Umpire Gone Wrong.
BuTLEit, Pu, July 16 Special. One of
the most scientific and interesting games of
ball witnessed for years here, was thegame
this afternoon between the Homesteads and
the Butlers. Hits were scarce and the came
was almost errorless up to the seventh
inning, when a rank decision of the Umpire
on a loul ball caused the Homesteads to
leave the ground. At this stage of the game
It stood 2 to 1 in favor of the Homesteads,
and tho Butlers had a man on second and
one on third, ana two men out. The batter
made a foul hit, which was called fair and
both Butler men scored. The Homostends
immediately left the field. Playing would
have been resumed in a rew minutes, but
the Homesteads could not be persuaded to
remain.
The TJnlontown Win Two Games.
Uhioktows, Pa., July 16. Special. The
Johnstown club crossed bats with tho home
teanvat Mountain View Park this afternoon
and were defeated in two games. Altman
and Sterling did the battery work for the
home team in the first game and gave the
visitors only one hit. Score, first game, 16 to
0. The second game was also one-sided, the
Uniontowns winning by a score of 8 to 0.
The only features tiere the phenomenal
fielding of Wllhelm and home runs by But

recognized that Zimmerman is a great
wheelman. Experts declare that his per
formance in the finish for the 50 miles cham
pionship was the crandest ever seen in this
country at the end of a distance race.
Zimmerman, by the way, has not enjoyed
much of the vaunted Biltish hospitality,
and the manner in which he bns been
ignored socially by the leading English club
has moved a cyclist now-paper to remark:
"We Britishers are a churlish raco, and in
our treatment of visitors abroad have much
to learn. Here Is a modest, speedy young
cycler, a thorough sportsman and rhrhtgood
fellow, who travels thousands of miles to
meet and beat the best men we can pit
against him, leaving ns in loss than a week,
and no suggestion has been made to organize
a modest dinner or supper at which to give
tne young fellow a send off. It is very sur
prising." Their Second Deposit Up.
Ed Beck, of Sharpsbnrg, and William
Lehman, of Pittsburg, each put up $100 at
this office last evening, it being the second
deposit for their foot race whloh takes place
at East Liberty Park next Saturday after
noon. Bock is to receive 3 yards start in 100
yards. The race is causing considerable in
terest among local sporting men.

EWING THE CHAMPM.
He Wins the Grojran Cup From Bncb.
in Three Straight Sets.
LARGE CROWDS OP ENTHUSIASTS
Witness the Final Event of the Pittsburg
Clnb's Tournament.
ANALYSIS AXD SCORE OP TnE EOUND
About 1,000 of Pittsburg's foremost citi
zens witnessed tbe closing event of the ten
nfs tournament at the Pittsburg Tennis
Club's grounds yesterday afternoon. 1'ore
than one-half of these were ladies, most of
whom were as enthusiastic as the men, and
entered as heartily into the spirit of the
game, applauding good plays and wishing
as earnestly for the suocess of .the local
champion. The event was the contest for
the Grogan championship cup, carrying
with it the championship of "Western Penn
sylvania, between Buch, ot Altoona, its
holder during the past year, and Ewing, the
winner of the singles at the tournament
jnst closed.
Eiug proved the victor, winning three
straight sets, one of which was the most in
teresting and exciting played on the
grounds during the week. This is the first
time the cup has been won in three straight
sets, and each time the cup has been at
stake It has passed into the hands of the
challenger.
Kxcltlng Battle of the Champion.
The first game commenced at 3 o'clock,
Buck serving and losing to Ewing after
"deuce" had been reached. It required 20
games to finish the set, Ewing finally win
ning by a score of 11-9. To show how close
the set was fought- it is only necessary to
consider that nt the end of the 18th game
each had won 9. Then Ewing won two and
captured the first part of the round.
Of these 20 games, nine reached "deuce"
and tonr were "love." In six of the games
the loser had "30" and in one the loser had
15. In two of the games the ball was
served 18 times, or 12 times ot the deuce
was reached, and -in several after games
there was a service of from 10 to 14 batls.
The second set was less exciting, Ewing
winning all bnt the first game. In only one
game did the score reach "deuce," and
Ewing captured two "love" games, while
intwo games Buch had only "15."
The third set was also won easily by
Ewing. Twice in this set th'e score reached
"deuce," and then only when Buch played
desperately to save himself ironi defeat.
Buch captured three "love" games from
Ewing in the set, and Ewing took one of
the same sort from Buch. la the other
game Buch had "30" once when defeated,
and "15" twice. Ewing took both games
when "deuce" was reached, winning the
set and the championship by a score of 6-4.
Both Played Fine Games.
Buch played a very pretty game, and
some of his returns were made under cir
cumstances that seemed to make them im
possible. He had a graceful style that was
pleasant to watch, but Swing's headwork
was too much for him. Both played rather
a slow game, adhering closely to the back
court, and. only in a lew instances did
either ot them come down to the net. Buch
tried several times to work his way there,
but on each occasion Ewing forced him
back by euccesslul lobbing, and in this kind
of play Buch was equally proficient There
was a paucity of swashing and very little
rapid volleying, most of the balls
being taken from the ground.
Still there was an abundance of pretty
playing, a good many skillfully placed balls
and comparatively few faults. After the
first set Buch appeared somewhat at a dis
advantage. All the hand playing was done
in that part of the round, except at the very
end, when Buch rallied and attempted to
save himself from defeat in the last two
games. Ewing, however, proved himself
the better stayer, retaining his strength and
vitality to the end, while Buch showed
fatigne in both the second and third sets.

Golden Medical Discovery (for the Bronchitis
